It was good to hear that no new disasters had arisen in his unexpectedly lengthy absence, and he lifted his glass in a silent toast of relief to the welcome news. Of course, Flora waited until he was taking another sip of his drink before she dropped the little update on Remi, and the Tidebreaker was forced to pause mid-swallow. He had fought several difficult battles in his life, but the current effort to not choke on his drink was one of the hardest.
His innate stoicism won in the end and he managed to finish without incident, though he set his drink down with unnecessary care as he looked back to Flora with a silent question in his eyes. One that she thankfully answered without further prompting, and he relaxed back into the water with a soft breath of relief and a genuine smile for the Doubletake. "Then I will send him my congratulations," he rumbled, tilting his head at her in acknowledgment of the point she had scored.
"Hmm. Have you been to see Safrin since her return?" he asked, since the subject of gods had arisen.
